Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith
signed an agreement this week paving a path for an oil pipeline —
a move that ended up costing Carney a cabinet minister and key
ally in Quebec.

Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc joins The
House to discuss Steven Guilbeault’s resignation and how Canada
plans to address the frustrated B.C. government and coastal First
Nations. Then, Catherine Cullen asks B.C. Premier David Eby
whether he believes this pipeline will really happen without his
province’s consent.

Plus, as the dust settles on the Alberta agreement, political
strategists Marci Surkes, Erika Barootes and Matthew Dubé discuss
the political fallout of the deal and what it means for the
fortunes of the Conservatives and the NDP.

Finally, Canada is the latest country to cut back on foreign aid.
Recently back from Afghanistan, War Child Canada President Dr.
Samantha Nutt describes seeing an “unprecedented” level of global
suffering and whether she believes the Liberals are giving up on
feminist foreign policy.

This episode features the voices of:

Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs

Marci Surkes, former senior advisor to Justin Trudeau and
chief strategy officer at Compass Rose

Erika Barootes, Conservative commentator and former principal
secretary to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith

Matthew Dubé, former Quebec NDP MP and vice-president of
